“Earth is part of the solar system.“

This book was published in 2020. This book provides a lot of information on the planets in our solar system. This book can be good to introduce space before the unit. Many students are interested in space and want to learn more about it. This book could become a resource to those students.

I thought this book was very informational and gave a detailed description of all the different types of planets in our solar system.

“Ouch! Asteroids and comets often hit this planet.”

This isn‘t a book that I would use in my classroom just because it felt very young. It would be better suited for beginning readers such as maybe preschool or kindergarten.

It could be really fun for children to learn about planets in the solar system however this book I feel as though the illustrations could‘ve been more realistic to what the planets actually look like.

“On the other side of the planet, where the sun isn't shining, you can see bright lights, like little stars all over it's surface.“

I would love to use this book in my future classroom. With current curriculums I feel it's hard to find time in the day to provide students with meaningful science lessons. This book would do just that and encourage children to be curious. Great opportunity to also tie in STEM content.

This is a very creative and engaging book that will push children to be curious. It shows children how big the world around us is and encourages them to think outside the box. Overall, a very beautiful story with colorful illustrations.
